'Demon Within' is my attempt to attract some reviews + write a good action fic. Gimme a chance people! I'm not planning on making my chapters very long each because that's not my style. Reviewing really kicks me into shape for writing though ^_^. I'm considering adding some Kag/Inu in, tell me in your review (considering if anyone DOES) if I should. ^_^

Demon Within
Chp. 1 Pain

"Inuyasha, look out!"

A huge scorpion tail smashed into the rock wall where Inuyasha had been standing a minute ago. Inuyasha had leaped off onto the top of the scorpion demon's tail, running along it onto its back and preparing to drive the Tetsusaiga into its head. However the scorpion used its tail to flick Inuyasha off like a bug.

Imagine that there is a fly on your shoulder. It's annoying you very much with its buzzing noise, not to mention it's probably very dirty. Imagine this on a scale about 300 times bigger. Multiply this by the pain of crashing into another rock wall of a canyon.

The Inu-tachi had been traveling through the canyon before the scorpion showed up seeking the shards of the shikon jewel. It was huge and had a maroon colored shell, huge claws and a very nasty-looking stinger.

"Inuyasha! Hirakotsu!" Sango swung the giant boomerang she carried from her vantage point on Kirara's back. Her boomerang sliced through the scorpion's stinger and sprayed venom all over, melting large holes in the ground and the walls.

"The scorpion has three shards in its head and claws!" Kagome shouted. She notched an arrow to the bowstring and let it fly, concentrating her miko powers on it. It burned a hole into the scorpion's back, making it thrash in pain.

Sango threw her boomerang again at the scorpion's claws, but its shell was to thick there and the boomerang rebounded harmlessly off its armor. Sango caught it and yelled, "The claws are too thick! I can't slice through them!" Then she aimed the Hirakotsu at the legs of the huge beast.

Suddenly, the scorpion moved with surprising speed for a creature of its size and used its claw to bring a heavy blow on Kirara's head. The unconscious fire cat managed to land somewhat bumpily before getting knocked out. "Kirara!" Sango cried.

"Look out!" Miroku yelled. He dodged the scorpion's claw and managed one of its legs off.

Inuyasha ran forward and sliced another leg off. The scorpion suddenly snapped and it whipped poor Miroku away with his tail. It tried spit out poison at Inuyasha but missed. While he was distracted, it swiped at Inuyasha with his tail again and slammed him into the wall. . . again.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. She sent another arrow spiraling at the scorpion, which lodged itself in the scorpion's head.

Now, think in the way of the scorpion. Like you, the scorpion has a patience line. After you snap, you go insane and start smacking stuff around. So this is exactly what the scorpion did.

The scorpion spit more venom at Miroku and Kagome. Miroku put up barrier around themselves and helped Kagome run with Shippo.

"You're starting to piss me off. . ." Inuyasha growled. He charged at the scorpion, aiming for its head. "DIE!!!"

The dramatic scene was, however, ruined when the scorpion grabbed Inuyasha halfway through.

After snatching Inuyasha out of the air, the scorpion started squeezing his body. Yelling in pain, Inuyasha dropped the Tetsusaiga.

"Inuyasha!" Sango threw her boomerang at the scorpion in attempt to save Inuyasha, but the Scorpion grabbed it too and started crushing it with its claws. Thin lines appeared on the surface of the smooth white bone.

Kagome fired another arrow, but apparently the scorpion had some form of magic and put a barrier around itself. The arrow disintegrated upon contact.

The rest of the group stood dumbfounded, racking their brains for a way to defeat the awesome creature. They could see Inuyasha's body shaking with pain as the scorpion added more pressure into crushing his prey.

"How strong is this demon?" Sango whispered in awe.

"It is only using the beginning of his strength," Miroku answered softly.

"We've gotta save Inuyasha!" Kagome cried.

Suddenly a weird spiral of air formed around Inuyasha, his hair blowing around his face and his eyes turning red.

"No. . ." the group heard Miroku whisper. "He's turning full-demon!"

The aforementioned hanyou grew purple stripes on his cheeks and his turned blood red. With one fluid motion he snapped the scorpion's claw in half and thus freeing himself.

"Why's he changing?" Shippo cried, clutching onto Kagome's leg in utter fear.

"He dropped the Tetsusaiga. . ." Kagome said.

The Demonic Inuyasha jumped at least thirty feet in the air and dove at the scorpion's head. . .

BOOM.

Demon slime splattered everywhere and Miroku pulled a barrier spell around them just in time. They watched as green blood covered the spell and blocked their view.

Five minutes later Miroku lowered the spell and they walked around.

The canyon had been destroyed. There was a nice even circle crater in the ground about 10 feet deep, smoking and charred at the edges.

"Praise Buddha. . ." Miroku remarked in awe.

All that was left of the demon was green muck covering the canyon walls and a steaming pile of melting maroon shell in the middle of it all. Kagome walked over and picked up three of the shards from the pools of blood, which instantly sparkled and shone like glass, changing from dark green to clear turquoise.

There was no sign of Inuyasha.

"Where's Inuyasha, Kagome?" Shippo asked worriedly.

"He's gone." Kagome said, standing up straight and clutching the shards.

"But that would mean he's still full demon. . . There's not telling what kind of destruction he'll cause. . ." Sango said.

"I know. We have to find him!"

"Lady Kagome, are you sure~?"

They were all silenced when Kagome turned to them, holding the bloodstained and rusty Tetsusaiga.
